i think its now getting in the most interesting region.if the face will end like the uniform i think this will be smashing
alone i would never had the discipline to make this acribic pics of any step.nor would i have been able to withstand the whish to paint the face as first.i start in an bust always with the face.nor would i bee able to remix again and again the exact same colour.i get troubled if i have to remix the same minute an amount of colour when its not enough to be spread over an figure part
i am really keen to see what he will do with it.
cheers

Thank You Markus and Mike for your the nice feedback!
What concerns my "segment-painting manner", I myself am curious.
Though I work long since in such a way, but with the face of a bust I have still never tried out this …
I do not paint with wet palette separate mixes my colours Drop for drop on an old white bathroom tile.
After every painting way the tile is washed – but I always leave a small blot of the basic colour in it by which I orientate myself the next day with the new-mixing.
The mixing of other colours to that I take down most exactly – sometimes I also specially take photos.
I make this long since in such a way because it fits in my opinion well to my "segment-painting manner".
All that is not necessarily "school-according", however, up to now I come – believe I – quite well rightly with this method.
The further I work after Outside and Below there, the more an other colour comes into play with my skin ensemble: "Scarlet" …:
Who exactly looks, can recognise that the nasal point, the wings of nose the noses "sphere" and the crossings to the cheeks have been already treated thus.
Indeed, I have tried not to exaggerate the red clay! He steps only very subtly in appearance …:
However, with the nasal point this is not to me yet enough. Headword „Daddy of vodka“! There what will still happen something…
However, the impression all together to pale skin clay evaporates, in any case, with every square millimetre of "disappeared" primer.

Привет Олег!
Я благодарю вас за ваши слова!
Now here we have here the first cheek!
Down there the whole successive becomes darker, while I the portion of „Brown Rose“ …
… increases gently.
This happens because already a light head rotation and the shade of the cap lid has included.
Too darkly however, I do not want to make it because there one more beard shade has to go there …:
The other cheek will be similarly treated – indeed a little brighter, because there more light falls on it. This effect is also already indicated with the "little hamster's forecastles".
And with this state I say goodbye in the week-end!
Oh – because I have never painted before a beard shade, it would be nice if somebody could briefly explain to me here. Many thanks!

К сожалению, только совсем мало.
Я могу понимать русский язык немного, но говорить только плохо и писать.
(Unfortunately, only completely a little.
I can understand Russian quite well, but speak very badly and write.)
And: Thank You very much, Gordy!
Regards and a fine weekend to You all!

Ordinarily I post not here on the week-end, however, that what a riding messenger has just brought to me is reason is enough for an exception!
Some time ago I had asked for with a friend sometimes because of a base for my Cossack.
After his "Yes" I transmitted to him the raw measures which I had in mind.
But that what I have just unpacked excels all my expectations! Joachim has excelled himself with the arrangement of the base.
Below a Screw thread is inserted to be able to fasten the base with possible transports certainly. Besides, the underside is with needle felt is booked to prevent scratch while putting up on pieces of furniture or so.
Most nicely, however, it is, that my friend the front side of the base - absolutely appropriate for Cossack! - with a relief of the Russian-orthodox cross has decorated.
Now with it was not to be calculated really! This makes the thing really "round"!

Today I do not have, as maybe in general expected, the other cheek painted, but something else.
I had an idea, as already intimatedly – my mates had christened, nevertheless, also the little one the name „Daddy of vodka“.
So I took Scarlett …
… taken and the nose a corresponding – but careful one! – Air given. I could have painted there still quite different things, possibly with addition of blue.
But this is enough to me …:
-----------------------------------
And now I have a question:
I plan to paint a dark-blond moustache to the Cossack.
I plan to paint over the moustache deep brown and the hair to use these colours
What do you say:
Is an important component absent there still at all?
Please, warmly around tutoring!

Thanks again, Gordy!
Now here we have the second cheek.
Also this becomes clearly dark down there, but not so strong as the other cheek because here more light falls on it.
Moreover, I have tried to show that the cheek looks "compressed" by the pulled up corner of mouth on the one hand and the zugekniffene eye, on the other hand, a little bit.
The colours once again …:
And here the result …:
Moreover, You can see that the type has now another cigarette in the mouth. This came thus …:
The head in the cork stands on the working table and is protected even with a clothes peg against falling down.
Help, however, everything nothing if one reaches in a hurry above the table and forgets with the fact that one has the a jacket with worn-out wide sleeves on.
The head with the sleeve briefly touches and the thing tips infallibly on the cigarette holder and it breaks off!
So I had to make a new cigarette from Milliput! A sow-stupid work – especially with an almost ready painted face.
It was the most difficult to get the not uncompleted rests under the moustache and between the lips away.
But everything bad has also a "good" in it!
I have formed the spring a little more really with more volume, with modellier tools have indicated even the cinder at the end and the boy have built the thing even further in the corner of mouth what looks even more careless.
So – one day of break for hardening. Then Thursday it goes on.

Looking good Martin. Why haven't you painted the face all in one go?

Hello my german fellow.
For me the eye doesent work. Do you have a black line on the uper lid?
and a red or pinkish for the other?
The Puppille needs a closeup, specially for me...
And the red nose looks like too pinkish. should be more red in my opinion.
And the way you paint his face is a very speciall way, nobody understand.
But thats what the hobby need, more and more different way to get the own copy.
Not always the same acrylic way... keep us updated and think on a two component adhesive for the finished eye. Looks more naturally.

i am not sure if blond hair will go well your bluse is bright kakhi and the head should contrast more.i would use an dark brown with maybe some grey on the beard this would give him the look of an more mature man not an youngster

First of all: Thank you Carl!
I have contracted the habit of this "segment-painting manner" sometime. I make this always thus and manage quite well with it. It is important, besides, solely to mix the next day the right tone again.
Call it a bad habit …
And also to you many thanks Stephan, old friend! Nice, to hear something from You after a long time.
It is a pity that you do not like the eye in such a way, but I would leave it so.
Whether I make it shining, I still consider. I have already seen many busts to which this looked pretty good, but also also many with which this did not work at all …
If I would make the nose more red, if I crossed the border to the caricature, I think.
And @Pinsel:
Thanks for Your advice!
I see this also in such a way, now!
Now the beard becomes at first brown primed and then grey hairs.

Today I make the moustache of my Cossack!
In addition I take these colours …:
The thing proceeds as follows:
First becomes the whole beard with Deep brown underpainting.
Afterwards more and more grey arrives to the brown bit by bit and single "hairs" were painted.
Afterwards a thin Wash with very liquid brown.
After the dry I have to the brown grey mixture mixed also a bit white and some hair carefully brushed.
Et voilà …:
Then I have undercoated the cigarette made anew still fast with the paintbrush.

Well, today everything turns on tobacco and nicotine – please first of all note this...:
I have decieted to put a cigar in the face to my Cossack because the cheroot to me has been too mighty for a cigarette now.
The cigar is painted in several stages.
First once I paint with these colours
… the glow …:
Afterwards becomes with these colours …
… carefully over painted.
There originates the impression of the cinder under which a little smoldering glow is to be seen. This effect becomes to the back (to the mouth) there stronger …:
From the dark grey priming I leave directly after the glow a small edge. This should indicate the just burning tobacco.
What concerns the colour of the cigar, I have decided on "Sumatra". The Dutchmen had in their colony Dutch Eastindia (today: Indonesia) the tobacco cultivation introduced.
From there the herb was shipped to Europe.
At the beginning of the 20th century were liked this "Sumatra" on account of her spicy, but at the same time relatively bright and mild tobacco very much and might have been available, hence, in many German households.
I show our Cossack in 1914 in east Prussian – this well fits.
I paint the unsmoked part of the cigar "Sumatra-coloured" …
… with these colours …:
"Dark Flesh" is used for the lights on top more, down there to the shade more "Saddle Brown" comes used.
Thus it originates bit by bit – as I find - absolutely perfect illusion of a glowing cigar …:
And with this I say goodbye in the week-end!
